Myself, healing takes time. I am on track, but getting low Blood Glucose Levels again. So this time I am dealing with the lows ( so far not severe). Just dialing down insulin more slowly. Figure it out as i go. Seems like I am always figuring it out. Meanwhile, the turkey thighs went from freezer to fridge yesterday. Crock pot is clean. The carnivore cheesecake is cut and in the freezer. Coffee is in good supply. As a note, the audio alarms on my CGM are silent for the next 6 hours. Currently at 54 on cgm. Finger stick says 60. I feel fine.

I'm now re-reading a book that I read in six days. Can't Hurt Me by David Goggins. Unbelievably inspiring. Three thumbs up...borrowing a thumb

In sort of the same boat. First month in '24 I lost pretty much a pound a day for a month. Took me a few weeks to figure out milk created a stall but steadily lost weight until most people thought I was sick again like 2018 and just not telling. If I just ate when I was hungry it would be every 30 hours or so (even longer at times) but I have tried to hit my protein per pound requirements for building muscle, and it is very hard. After carnivore I have not had the appetite to hit those protein targets consistently. I have had considerable strength gains int he gym for a 56-year-old, but the size gains are noticeable but not what i would expect. I could stand to lose a few more pounds, and if I just ate when I was hungry, I am sure they would fall right off. I am hanging around 90-95 pounds lost since May '24. I am not complaining about my appetite as much as I am impressed by the amounts I hear others are able to eat. 2lbs of red meat for me is over two days of food and people are eating that in a sitting. Impressed and a bit jealous as well. LOL All in all, I'm in a good place. Scott

I am not sure how often I feel alone but I do understand the being alone with carnivore. And it is the little things that sort of give me a poke, things that never meant anything before. I cook for our shift usually once a month or to celebrate an employee's birthday. It feels like we are here together more than we are at home so we do some celebrating/eating together as often as we can. Everyone knows I eat carnivore, and it is a running joke amongst a lot of people. Any problem we have, mechanical, or chemistry, or process or anything, I explain if they were on the carnivore diet things would be much better in the plant. I even told my wife that if she went on the carnivore diet full time the check engine light would go off in her Jeep. I get a kick out of it. Babbling. Three times in the last two weeks we had breakroom celebrations. Dunkin donuts one morning, cupcakes another day and birthday cake another. I go in and do my spiel as a Supervisor, watch people eat and laugh. Sort of childish on my part but it does remind me we are in an extreme minority, although ever growing. So, it turn, I wrote on the communication board, "Sugar is the most oppressive chemical compound in the world, and yet it is still legal. Write that down". I then sign my name. I sort of get the being alone with carnivore. But at the same time, none of those things will ever taste as good as I feel. (and today was leg day at 4:30 in the morning before starting a 12 hour shift). LOL Good luck. Hopefully things brighten a bit. But as you stated, you have your WHY? and the WHY can be a very powerful tool. Scott
